Abstract: Percutaneous skin prick tests (SPT) have been considered the preferred method for confirming IgE-mediated sensitization. This reliable and minimally invasive technique correlates with in vivo challenges, has good reproducibility, is easily quantified, and allows analyzing multiple allergens simultaneously. Potent extracts and a proficient tester improve its accuracy. Molecular-based allerg

Drug Hypersensitivity and Anaphylaxis in Cancer and Chronic Inflammatory Diseases: The Role of Desensitizations Autor:  Mariana Castells, Allergy and Immunology, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, United States. Abstract:  Drug allergy is a rising problem in the twenty-first century which affects all populations and races, children, and adults, and for which the recognition, diagnosis, management, and treatment is still not well standardized. Classical and new chemotherapy drugs, monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs), and small molecules to treat cancer and chronic inflammatory diseases are aimed at improving quality of life and life expectancy of patients, but an increasing number of reactions including anaphylaxis precludes their use in targeted populations. Women are more affected by drug allergy and up to 27% of women with ovarian and breast cancer develop carboplatin allergy after multiple cycles of treatment. Carriers of BRCA genes develop drug a

Acquired C1 Inhibitor Deficiency. Autores:   Iris M. Otani, MD ; Department of Medicine, Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine, UCSF Medical Center, 400 Parnassus Avenue, Box 0359, San Francisco, CA 94143, USA. Aleena Banerji, MD ; Department of Medicine, Division of Rheumatology, Allergy and Immunology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Cox 201 Allergy Associates, Boston, MA 02114, USA. Abstract: Acquired angioedema due to C1-INH deficiency (C1-INH-AAE) can occur when there are acquired (not inherited) deficiencies of C1-INH. A quantitative or functional C1-INH deficiency with negative family history and low C1q is diagnostic of C1-INH-AAE. The most common conditions associated with C1-INH-AAE are autoimmunity and B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders. A diagnosis of C1-INH-AAE can precede a diagnosis of lymphoproliferative disease and confers an increased risk for developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Treatment focuses on symptom control with therapi

Common questions about allergy. Practical approach to diagnosis and management in primary care Jorge Sánchez, 1 Andrés Sánchez, 1 Ricardo Cardona 1 1 Universidad de Antioquia, Grupo de Alergología Clínica y Experimental, Medellín, Colombia Abstract Allergic diseases are disorders with different clinical manifestations that are present in 20 to 40% of the general population. Since they share a common mechanism, several processes of this type often occur in the same individual, thus generating numerous symptoms and important economic costs for patients and their families. Currently, medical management of these diseases is focused on three main aspects: to identify and avoid the causative agent, acute symptoms’ control through pharmacological treatment and generation of tolerance with immunomodulation or desensitization. However, owing to the different underlying mechanisms, different diagnostic approaches are necessary, which can become a real cha

The Role of Allergy in Chronic Rhinosinusitis Autores:   Ashleigh A. Halderman and Laura J. Tully , Department of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, 5303 Harry Hines Boulevard, Dallas, TX 75390, USA Abstract:  The role of allergy in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has long been debated and remains controversial. The 2 diseases frequently co-occur; however, direct causality has never been proved. The literature is largely mixed as to the manner and degree by which allergy contributes to CRS and this is in large part due to heterogeneity in the definitions of allergy and of CRS. In this review, the potential role of allergy in the disease processes of CRS without polyps, CRS with polyps, and allergic fungal rhinosinusitis is discussed.

It is a lesion of the auriculotemporal nerve that is secondary to surgery, parotid gland infection or facial trauma.  Clinical cases : Three children between 4 and two and a half years of age: two girls and one boy. They had self-limiting unilateral erythematous facial macules that reached the external ear, without rash, itching, angioedema and gastrointestinal or respirator

Cardiovascular and Diabetic Medications That Cause Bradykinin-Mediated Angioedema Stephanie N. Hudey, MD, Emma Westermann-Clark, MD, MA, and Richard F. Lockey, MD Division of Allergy and Immunology, Department of Internal Medicine, University of South Florida, Morsani College of Medicine, Tampa, Fla  Corresponding author: Emma Westermann-Clark, MD, MA, Division of Allergy and Immunology, Department of Internal Medicine, University of South Florida, Morsani College of Medicine, 13000 Bruce B. Downs Boulevard, Suite 111D, Tampa, FL 33612. E-mail: ewester1@health.usf.edu. Abstract: Medication-induced angioedema is a bradykinin-mediated process that results from increased production or decreased degradation of bradykinin. These reactions are documented for several cardiac medications including blockers of the reninangiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). Other cardiovascular and diabetes medications further increase the risk of medicationinduced angioedema, particularly with concomit

Asthma and COPD overlap pathophysiology of ACO Mari Hikichi, Shu Hashimoto* , Yasuhiro Gon * Corresponding author. Division of Respiratory Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, Nihon University School of Medicine, Ohyaguchikamimachi, Itabashi-ku Tokyo 173-8610, Japan. E-mail address: hashimoto.shu@nihon-u.ac.jp (S. Hashimoto) Abstract Asthma and COPD appear as a result of different mechanisms triggered by different pathogeneses and although they present different features and symptoms of airway inflammation and airway obstruction, there are also cases that present the features of both asthma and COPD. This type of pathology is known as asthma-COPD overlap syndrome (ACOS). Asthma-COPD overlap is identified in clinical practice by the features that it shares with both asthma and COPD. This is not a definition, but a description for clinical use, as asthma-COPD overlap includes several different clinical phenotypes and there are likely to be several different underlyin
